Our Senior Students organised an end of term talent show where our staff entertained students to raise money for MacMillan Nurses.
Showcasing their talents were:
Our Year 9 Councillors have been a particularly active group this year, organising charity events and contributing to the school community; embracing their role as advocates and custodians of King Edward’s. With that in mind and supporting the values of Cheviot Learning Trust the Y9 Council, supported by our Senior Students, took part in an activity filled day of citizen science, learning about what we can do locally to improve our environment. This event was supported by NCC, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, and Morpeth Lions, as well as KEVI staff and past students!
For the fourth consecutive year, we have partnered with ‘I Can Save a Life’ to delivered basic first aid training to our Year 10 students. As part of our PSHE curriculum and statutory Health Education, each student in Year 10 has the opportunity to work with a professional trainer to gain new skills.
Students get to understand some basic first aid, including CPR and how to use a defibrillator. The students have engaged fantastically well with the sessions and have been a real credit to the school, impressing Wayne with their engagement and enthusiasm.
Well done to the PE Department who have, again been recognised for their hard work and dedication. The team have such a passion for Sport and its many benefits, and have continued this year to create so many opportunities and experiences for our students.
Sportsmark Gold Status for 2024-2025 it the fourth year that King Edward’s PE Department have been recognised; not only for the breadth and sheer number opportunities but the truley inclusive nature of PE at KEVI and the amount of students who participate in enriching and extra curricular Sport.
The team are aiming for Platimum in 2026 when even more students can get involved with our improved facilities. Congratulations to all of the staff and students that contributed to this achievment – you really make us proud!
Enrichmnet Week 2025 saw another artistic conservation collaboration with local artist Jane Lee McCracken and Drawing for the Planet. This is the third time students have worked with Jane following marine projects in Laguna Beach and tiger conservation in Asia. This time, students worked with Jane on a project linked to conservation in the Amazon Rainforest.
The project features drawings of Amazonian wildlife created by our talented Year 9 students. They look stunning! https://drawingfortheplanet.org/pages/brazilian-and-peruvian-amazonian-wildlife
The amazingly talented Music students from an eclectic range of ensembles will be performing a Summer Serenade on Friday 11 July.
